Things to Know About Using
This Guide
[IN01125( M)06/92]
This guide will familiarize you with operational,
maintenance and safety information about your
new vehicle. It is supplemented by a Warranty
Information Booklet. We urge you to read these
publications carefully and follow the
recommendations to help assure enjoyable and
safe operation of your new vehicle.
[IN01150( M)06/90]
This chassis is designed to fulfill an infinite
variety of personal and business transportation
needs. Of necessity, a vehicle capable of such a
multitude of functions is much more than a
passenger vehicle and will therefore look, feel,
drive and function somewhat differently from a
passenger vehicle. These characteristics will also,
in part, be a result of the equipment you have
chosen for your particular vehicle application(s).
Therefore, it is very important that you read and
thoroughly familiarize yourself and others
operating your vehicle with this guide.
